Compelling Foreword from Stephen Clarkson, one of Canada's preeminent political scientists

High-profile contributors from Canada and Europe bring together the 'who's who' of Canadian foreign policy studies

Unique perspective looks at Canadian foreign policy 'from the outside in' and 'from the inside out'

Distinctive approach focuses equally on 'soft' and 'hard' powers

Broad range of topics give professors and students thorough coverage of all salient areas in Canadian foreign policy

Current, cutting-edge discussions provide key debates and new research in evolving policy areas such as human security, environmental policy, and energy policy

Challenging pedagogy includes discussion questions and additional readings after each chapter

A compilation of brand-new research and writing from leading Canadian and European experts on Canadian foreign policy, Canada's Foreign and Security Policy: Soft and Hard Strategies of a Middle Power re-examines Canada's political place and international influence in the contemporary world. As half of the contributors are non-Canadians, this 'outside-in' character of the book offers a unique perspective on internal versus external role perception, recognizing the disparity between Canada's national self-image and
interpretations from outside the country's boundaries.

Organized into three parts, the book begins with a conceptual analysis of Canada's label and position as a middle power, then moves on to assess the soft and hard dimensions of Canada's foreign and security policy within this framework. Individual chapters are policy-relevant and cover a range of topics of interest to Canadian foreign policy students and scholars alike, including human security, development policy, environmental and energy policies, the role of the Canadian forces, terrorism, NATO involvement, and Arctic sovereignty. Within these chapters, key debates meet new scholarship as authors examine the
interrelationships within and among policy areas, and also call into question the 'sedimented truths' of Canadian foreign and security policy.

Readership: Canada's Foreign and Security Policy: Soft and Hard Strategies of a Middle Power is a core text for advanced Canadian Foreign Policy courses and a supplemental text for advanced Security Studies courses, both offered out of university Political Science Departments.
